  • Methodology

    There is no such thing as "HIA methodology." Rather, HIA borrows from a wide variety of fields including epidemiology, risk analysis, economics and other fields, adapting and applying methodologies as dictated by available data and the information needs of policy-makers and stakeholders. Detailing each of these methodologies, their strengths and their limitations in HIA is beyond the scope of this website. Whatever the mix of assessment methodologies, most HIAs follow the same general sequence of phases. We offer a brief explanation of these phases for those visitors seeking to become more familiar with HIA. You may also download a copy of a recent presentation on HIA (PDF format).
